time, was the blending of two names
into one, on last Tuesday evening.
Miss Ida Wright and our townsman,
DR.. Homer Chachere. In the early
cleaning frightened by stray beams OF
a crescent moon, "a large cOncOurse OF
mutual friends and acquaintances as
sembled at the Methodist K. Church,
and by the hour appointed on the dam
ty white cards, there was not standing
room in the aisle, while windows, doors
and the front enclosure gave back to
the glance a sea Of expectant faces.
The church was in flood of golden
light and the decorations picture OF
artistic beauty from the chandeliers
twined with ivy and bright green TO
liage, to the Altar which was covered
with garlands green, woven IN witt!
gold and crimson roses, rare plants ana
flowers of varied hue. Just IN front or
the Altar was bank of pure loneliness
fully five feet high, with graceful
SPRAYS of bridal wreath, hanging III
pTofusion from a fora imbeded in the
banks of perfume. A marriage bell OF
WV. cedar and white flowers was sus
pended from the ceiling by graceful
vine. The picture was not pertecf yer;
The soft sweet music arose III measured
cadence, from the organ presided over
bv Miss Josie Bowen whose spell OF
Witching music called forth from the
hidden depth, four lovely girls, Miss
Ressie Lewis and Bunkie Haas, draped
in cream and crimson. Miss Jennie
Jackson and Maud Collier in sky blue
and rose. bearing flower wreathed ar
ches, with four tiny sprites, Pearlie
Chachere, Salle White, Susie Ihomp-
son, and Susie Collier, dressed in deli
cate rainbow hues looping back the
ribbon leshes from the wreathed arches.
Following the youthful Misses, came
the bridal party. First Miss Alice
Hough with her swanllke movement
and dark gazelle eyes smiled upon us,

silk. with clustering pearls fashioned
in fern leaves and roses gathered from
Omar's green waves, to enhance the
brilliant color aud lovely face of Miss
Hattie Haas, escorted by Mr.. J. Byron
Meginley.
Miss Maggie Thompson, modest
sweet girl with her fair finished face
was attired in pale tinted blue, with
t1nnnces of lace draped back by knots
of ribbon. The ostrich tips in her hair
added height for her knight, Mr.. John
Hpalev. then Miss Coy Meginley came
gliding in with her symmetrical form
and movements all grace, her eyes like
star, shining with Softened light while
her dress of cream satin and ruby
violet, blended with her dark beauty
aud the creamy tips. held proudly her
coil of dark hair. Her attendant. Mr..
